The first activity I describe and made in task 2 is a Kahoot. These kahoot "quizes" really allow students to learn while they don't feel like they are. As I described in the day in a life, these are great for competetive kids, especially those who love sports, as it displays winners at the end. it is also not serious enough to make kids sad if they are not on the leaderboard at the end of the game. You can even have students not use their real name!

Podcasts are a great way to change up lecturing. While it pretty much is lecturing, it changes things up, however one needs to make sure their podcasts are engaging!

Infographics are a great way to enhance learning, as many learn better using visuals. These graphics can even be created using new tools such as Artificial Intelligence. These tools can save teachers time and allow them to diversify the ways they are teaching, without having to recreate their whole course plan.

Artificial Intelligence

While using AI is somewhat frowned upon in most schools, I believe teachers should utilize it heavily. It is efficient, allowing teachers to vary their content using the click of a button. Instead of writing a whole new lesson plan, they can have AI create one and then carefully review it, saving much needed time.

Calender

I consider calendars to be an essential piece of technology at a young age. Teachers should start by having their students use physical calendars and as they get older, other teachers transition them into using Google Calendar or another online calendar. this creates students who know how to handle their time much better.
